A late-December Saturday evening is a weird time to have a shower, but as a little surprise for them, I prepared a Havdalah ceremony to bring a little light and warmth to our evening. Havdalah is the ceremony marking the end of Shabbat and the beginning of the rest of the week, and Liz and our friends used to do Havdalah together a lot back in our Jewish youth group days. It was really nice to be together again for Havdalah, and extra special to have Becca join us from California via Skype, and sing harmony from 3,000 miles away!<\/p>\n<p><!-- default-view.php
